Recurring posts are the ultimate "set it and forget it" automation.
Set up once → posts automatically every week/month → forever.
Here's my exact process:
🎯 WHAT ARE RECURRING POSTS?
Instead of scheduling individual posts, you create a template that repeats:
• Weekly: "Friday Wins" every Friday at 4 PM
• Bi-weekly: "Member Spotlight" every other Monday
• Monthly: "Monthly Challenge" on the 1st
• Daily: "Daily Check-in" every morning at 8 AM
💡 WHY THEY WORK:
**Consistency breeds habit.** When members know "Friday Wins" posts every Friday at 4 PM, they:
• Check the community on Fridays expecting it
• Prepare their response throughout the week
• Engage more (2.2x more comments on average)
📊 DATA:
Recurring posts in my analysis:
• 2.2x more comments than one-off posts
• 1.8x more reactions
• 67% higher member participation rate
Why? Anticipation + habit formation.
